The Fall Forest of Light is coming to Sandhill Nursery! On Thursday, Friday & Saturday nights from September 24 – October 31, enjoy the magic of the illuminated light trail with a spin!

Thursdays bring the Not So Scary Pumpkin Trail. A family-friendly stroll through the lights, filled with favourite faces like Scooby-Doo, Charlie Brown, princesses, and superheroes. Perfect for little ones.

Fridays bring the Haunted Harvest Trail where things take a spookier turn as the trail transforms with zombies, vampires, and other frightful characters lurking among the lights. Not recommended for young children, or anyone who doesn't like a scare.

While Saturdays bring the original, non-themed Fall Forest of Light experience — just the magic of the lights!

What night will you visit first?

A little reminder to slow down, stay outside a little longer, and enjoy the simple moments of summer in Huntsville.

Morning walks, time by the water, wandering through town, long evenings and nowhere you need to rush off to. 💙

There’s still plenty of summer left to enjoy.
